Outline of skillSkill: Critical Thinking and Attention to detail Rationale: Nurses are on the front line of care and are those professionals who are in constantcontact with the patients since the beginning of the treatment plan (Carcio and Secor, 2018). It isthe responsibility of the nurses to read, analyse and evaluate the vital signs of the patient andhelp in addressing the issues related to BP, SpO2, pulse, respiration and more. Additionally, thenursing interventions are evidence based and must have good analytical skills with completetechnical knowledge about the normal vital signs and range. The nurses have the basicknowledge about the terminology and processes related to conducting tests and analyse the statusof the individuals.Principles underpinning skillThe principles are based on ethical standards and code of conduct which is required tocarry out the operations and activities using the mentioned nursing skills. These skills must bepractised with persistence to give patient centred care (Dougherty and Lister, 2015). Forinstance, the recorded blood pressure is not in normal range and it clearly demonstrates the illhealth of the patient, Danny. He was suffering from low blood pressure on the first examinationand was towards the lower levels only. Additionally, the pulse of this patient is optimum and islying in between the range of 60-100 beats per minute.Moreover, the nursing skills must be regulated under the code of ethics to be fulfilled forcomplete recovery of patients (Frost and Delaney, 2019). Here the focus is on influencing theresults by giving proper medication and the treatment plan. Relevant anatomy and physiology linked to homoeostasisUrine is the by product of human's metabolic activity and is liquid in form which getsexcreted through the ureters, that is presented in the urinary bladder. It is formed in the kidneyswhich is the excretory organs of human's body. This forms through the passage of blood viafiltration method. There are several components that are found in urine such as chloride ions,phenol waste, potassium and excess sodium which must be discarded. In here, the kidneys playimportant role in regulating the balance in terms of volume and concentration of fluids present inthe human body. It helps in balancing the pH levels and dispose the excess amount of water. Thishelps in maintenance of concentration levels of ions.1

Normal homoeostasis is defined as the stability in the internal environment by adjustingthe conditions and monitoring it on three parts such as receptor, control centre and effector. It hasbeen identified that the professionals working in this sector must be in coordination with thephysiological factors and the anatomy that might influence the care services (GRANT,2018).Here it affects the delivery and quality of services done by the professionals. In regard to gainingknowledge about the physiological factors of Danny, the patient from the scenario, it must beunderstandable that the internal environment is based on few parameters like temperature, partialpressure of carbon dioxide etc. for example, the pH and concentration of glucose, nitrate,leucocytes etc. must be examined and evaluated (Jensen, 2018). In regard to the above, Danny showed moderate levels of ketones and glucose which ledto dis balance in the homoeostasis. This clearly indicated towards the onset of diabetessymptoms which is harmful for the well being of the patient. Moreover, the BP levels is low andthis makes the situation more critical since the body fluids are not in control and might leads tosome other issues. The nursing skills are important to understand the primary system of humansthat focuses on reading test results to give a more effective treatment plan (Johnston and et.al.,20159). Here the effectors are helpful in measuring the variables that has direct relation to thehealth of the affected people.Observations ResultsThe results sowed that Danny has fluctuating levels of ketones, glucose levels andparameters like SpO2, blood pressure and more. Along with, it shed light on the ketoacidosiswhich takes place in the body parts of the patients ad affect the blood with high levels of acidscalled as ketones. This is harmful and inhibit the formation of natural insulin and leads toimpairment of well being of Danny in the later stages of his life. Moreover, it might leads to highlevels of sugar and extreme thirst and nauseas feeling during the entire day.The results also demonstrated that the patients vitals were unstable with fluctuating rangein the blood pressure, SpO2 and other such related parameters. In this regard, moderate and largelevels of glucose of Danny showed that he has been not well, feels giddiness all the times,headaches and has an impact on the entire body. Danny failed in maintaining the pulse and thismight also lead to burning of fatty acids and accelerating the unstable vital signs on the body.Here the nurses must ensure that the observations has been made clear to the patient and shouldbe given proper treatment plan for better recovery (Montayre and Sparks, 2017).
